DAN-SHA-RI

Bestselling author Hideko Yamashita is known in Japan as the foremost “clutter consultant” and she has developed the DAN-SHA-RI concept of self-analysis through decluttering and applies the tenets of cleaning and organizing in a way that anyone can practice in order to free themselves both physically and spiritually.

DAN-SHA-RI is a Japanese concept which breaks down as follows: dan = Refusal of unneeded things sha = Throwing away unneeded things you already own ri = Separation from unhealthy desire for unneeded things. Hideko Yamashita compiled her lessons into her first book, DAN-SHA-RI, published by Magazine House, which became a bestseller not only in Japan, but also in China and Taiwan. That book and its related works together have sold over three million copies. It’s time now to bring Hideko Yamashita’s brilliant practical wisdom to a broad audience anxious for guidance on how to simplify and organize their lives for greater emotional and physical health and happiness. An English-language synopsis plus a PDF of the original Japanese book is available for submission. The complete manuscript in English should be available in early 2016.
